Chapter 57: Mount Yang (Seeking Recommendations)

  In the underground training base of Yan Huang Da Yuan, in Training Room No. 44, Li Mang was repeatedly sent flying by Cheng Wei. However, what was strange was that Li Mang seemed to feel no pain, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he revived again and again, fully restored to health, and this had already continued for over an hour.

  Cheng Wei had always been cold-faced, but at this time his face was somewhat dark. This Li Meng had eaten the treasure medicine and had excess medicinal power, hastily rushing over to start training, no matter how hard he was hit, he wouldn't fall, like a cockroach, and the more he was hit, the stronger he became, with visible progress.

  The precious medicine of the demon doctor, he had long heard of it, but never had it before, and indeed it was a great regret in life. Now that Li Mang is taking the precious medicine, he didn't think of him at first, and only thought of finding him to practice together after eating his fill, which made Cheng Wei's cold personality unbearable, so he started with a more vicious hand than usual. But what made him lose his temper was that no matter how hard he tried, Li Mang just couldn't be beaten to death.

  Another hour passed, and Li Meng finally exhausted all the medicinal power in his body. The pain suddenly filled his entire body, making him clench his teeth. He was also extremely tired, and after being thrown to the ground one last time, he couldn't get up again, lying on the ground panting heavily. However, Li Meng could feel that these were just superficial injuries, while internally, it was a completely different sensation. A warm current filled his entire body's meridians, and the surging power was rapidly recovering.

  "Drinking two bowls of the precious medicine will break through the twenty-year bottleneck, transforming him!" Cheng Wei was deeply shocked and couldn't taste his food for a while. But it only lasted for a moment before he regained his icy expression and asked: "Do you know where the difference in appearance lies between a martial artist's twenty years of cultivation before and after?"

  "I saw in the library's negative first floor related materials that twenty years of cultivation can start to mobilize dark energy, also known as internal force." Li Mang brought out what he knew.

  "That's right, before twenty years of cultivation, we can only use our limbs to fight the enemy. But after entering twenty years of cultivation, we can mobilize our internal energy. Although it is not possible to release energy externally to hit the enemy, when fighting against the enemy, we can transfer the inner force into the opponent's body through punches and kicks, causing greater harm."

  "In addition, internal power has a great effect on self-protection, and it's not impossible to train the body to be as strong as copper skin and iron bones." Cheng Wei spoke slowly, teaching Li Mang with all his might, without holding back anything, since Li had good innate talent and luck.

  Li Meng listened attentively, as it was related to the mastery and use of Dark Energy, he didn't dare to be even slightly negligent. In the library's negative first floor 'Huang Lou', there was a record that said twenty years of cultivation was an upgrade in strength quality, mainly because of the emergence of Dark Energy, if one could master it, their strength would increase exponentially, and they could completely defeat anyone who had cultivated for less than twenty years, showing its importance.

  "What I'm going to talk about next is the method of controlling inner power. Now that you have internal energy, but this internal energy is not yet under your control, what you need to do now is to practice controlling it, and only when you can control it flexibly will you be considered qualified!"

  He paused for a moment, and then continued: "There are two ways to do this. One is to use your heart to feel and understand, the advantage of which is that you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, but the disadvantage is that it's too slow - even if you have good intuition, it will take at least ten days or half a month, and some people may need several years; The second way is to practice hard, through actual combat and bitter practice, you can speed up your familiarity with and application of internal force.

  Although he mentioned two methods, Cheng Wei didn't give Li Meng a chance to choose and immediately said: "Attack me! For now, just use your fists, remember to control your strength and focus it on your fist."

  “……” Li Mang was speechless, but could only follow Cheng Wei's teachings and start a new round of actual combat. As usual, Cheng Wei showed no mercy to him, his moves were always ruthless, using punches, kicks, throws, and everything else, each round leaving Li Mang injured once.

  But it was under this high-pressure confrontation that Li Meng's progress was rapid. Practicing bitterly for three hours, although he couldn't truly grasp the Dark Energy, he would occasionally and unintentionally use some of it, allowing him to feel the power of the Dark Energy and giving him even more motivation to train hard...

  At dawn, Li Meng was awakened by hunger, and after nearly five hours of intense training, he had digested all the food in his intestines.

  "Shan Hai Jing!" Li Meng reached into his chest and pulled out the Shan Hai Jing, familiarly entering it. He first used a few peach fruits to fill his hunger, then put on the Huanglong, Changjian, and other items, and rushed to the Cuiji Mountain.

  Today, the entire line of Qi Yun Mountain can be opened. He has great expectations for the nearby Yangshan Mountain. In the real version of "Shan Hai Jing", Yangshan Mountain mainly has two kinds of animals, one is the auspicious beast Lu Xun, and the other is the black turtle. As for whether this black turtle and the 'small black turtle' in Lixia Water are the same species, it remains to be examined.

  "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" (the original) may have records, but to avoid suspicion, Li Mang hasn't gone to the 'Xuan Lou' on the minus third floor for these two days, and hasn't had a chance yet. Being cautious is generally not a big mistake.

  The environment of the Yanzhi Mountains is extremely harsh, dark and humid, with many poisonous substances. In contrast, the Zhangyang Mountains have tall trees and a kind of delicate green grass on the ground. Compared to the previous Zhao Yangshan, Tangting Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain, Zhangyang Mountain has the most plant species and the most beautiful scenery, which makes Li Meng's eyes and ears refreshing after getting used to the harsh environment of Yanzhi Mountain.

  The representative species of Yangshan Mountain is the Saola, Li Mang had just stepped into this mountain range and saw one, its shape was similar to that of a horse, but it was not as tall as a horse, about half the size, and its head was white, with tiger-like stripes on its body, and a red tail.

  The deer was now staring at Li Mang, the intruder in its territory, with a pair of large eyes full of vigilance. Its four legs were tense and ready to strike, as if it could attack Li Mang at any moment.

  Li Meng gripped the yellow long knife tightly in his hand, narrowing his eyes vigilantly. He wasn't sure how strong Lu Shu's abilities were, but he had enough confidence to defeat him. Moreover, Lu Shu didn't seem like a fierce beast at all, at least not from his appearance.

  "Whoosh!!!!!"

  The deer let out a loud cry, and the sound was surprisingly pleasant to hear. But its next move left Li Mang stunned - the deer suddenly turned around and ran away, its four legs exerting force, and its speed was incredibly fast, disappearing from Li Mang's sight in an instant.

  "...this Liangzhu is actually afraid of people." Li Meng didn't know whether to consider himself lucky or unlucky, he had originally wanted to taste the flavor of his new prey, but unexpectedly this Liangzhu was timid and feared people.

  After some thought, Li Mang still carried the Huangpin long knife and followed in the direction of Lu Shu's run, because there was a small stream in front called "Guai Shui", which was where the Xuan Gui grew. As for why Li Mang was so clear the first time he came, don't forget that he wore the Ming Quan on his body, combined with the use of the Nan Shan Jing map, Li Mang would never have a day when he got lost.
